Copyright and Licensing Unclear #3

Open AkamaiBot opened 5 years ago

AkamaiBot commented 5 years ago

The noestimates-game webpage asserts this is licensed in its entirety under a share-and-share-alike license, however only some files in the project are decorated with a copyright and a licensing statement.

This leaves the copyright on the other files unclear, and all the rights on those reserved. It is also not clear which share-alike license version is being used.

Please add a standard AUTHORS file with attribution, and a LICENSE file. It would be helpful if information from the webpage is included in the README.md, or at least a link.

Thanks for the comment! I'll be happy to improve the content as you suggest. Can you please let me know which files have the copyrighted images?

Each of the pdf files represents work someone has done. Without authorship noted, it's not clear who owns the copyright on each. I assume most of those are your original works, but without clear ownership you can't license them, and I can't safely use them. :(

A specific example where there might be conflict in claim would be the spinner mat which is derived from a Game Crafter template. The page on their site those templates come from is ©2009-2017 The Game Crafter, LLC. All rights reserved. Naively that's in conflict with redistribution under a share a like license.

I do not know how they intend you to apply the advice in the FAQ if part of the works are theirs. https://help.thegamecrafter.com/article/297-game-design-asset-shop-artist-faq

Super, thanks for that info and feedback. You're right to point out those things in conflict. Let me work on resolving that stuff and will update this thread when I've made some changes. It will likely be a few weeks, so please let me know if you need something before then.

That sounds great!
